LOL<br /><br />I just never could see the Bud sponsorship as a fit for him, not like with Schrader or Dale Jr and now Harvick.<br /><br />And I do wish that Kasey would grow out of that &quot;deer in the headlights&quot; look he tends to get.

The Leuven-based brewery&#39;s primary beers include Stella Artois and Beck&#39;s. It&#39;s a clear move out of the big red beer for the over 600-year old brewer.<br /><br />The IRL race will be two 275 km feature races in the same evening with half points for each race, in the traditional June date. USAC has run this format in the past, and it is listed in the NASCAR rule book for short track racing. Many short tracks feature the twin-feature format for some weekly races.<br /><br />The NASCAR announcement is the April date is moving to a night race. This is two-fold: first, it allows a built-in Sunday rain date because Denton ISD has had to close school in the past when the Sprint Cup race is rained out and postponed to Monday; second, this is Masters weekend, and NASCAR doesn&#39;t want to compete against the final round of Augusta.Bobbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02366544608847776006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-81710327976466578632010-08-17T19:36:45.519-04:002010-08-17T19:36:45.519-04:00JD, just hope that the &quot;Local Singing Sensati...JD, just hope that the &quot;Local Singing Sensation&quot; doesn&#39;t show up at the announcement tonight.

To some extent it surprises me that Race Hub apparently is going to have one, non-track host whereas NASCAR Now has 3 rotating hosts all of whom have some regular at-the-track presence.

Just to see if it changes the dynamic any. I mean, she&#39;ll be herding cats just like Steve, but I like the idea of mixing it up a bit, if she&#39;s up to the challenge. They are not an easy group. It&#39;s so rare for them to even have a female as a guest, when at least a third of your fans are women, it would seem out of proportion with the NASCAR population.
